The finalists will pitch in front of a local and international jury consisting of Marcello Schermer, Regional Manager Africa, Seedstars World; Dima Diall, Strategic Account Executive, Microsoft; Armando Teixeira, Director at FACRA and others for a chance to claim top spot.

The winning startup automatically books a place at the global finals of Seedstars World Startup Competition holding in Geneva, Switzerland next year, where it will compete with over 55 regional winners from around the world for a juicy US$1.5million in investment.

Alisee de Tonnac, CEO of Seedstars World said, “Our goal is to create THE network for quality entrepreneurs around the world and help entrepreneurs, accelerators, co-working spaces and investors to interact with one another.”

The event will be organized by KiandaHub in partnership with Unitel and supported by Mozambican firm, UX and Menosfios.

The event, which has already been held in South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast and other African countries, promises to be filled with disruptive tech, inspirational keynote, networking sessions and so much more.

This year, Switzerland-based Seedstars World will travel to 52 countries across the world with the aim of reducing unemployment through the promotion and investment in entrepreneurship.
